I am keeping my promise... more meals!!
I'm a bit late posting this week! I hope everyone had a good holiday! It was super nice to have my hubby home one extra day and I got to get some new clothes!! (I haven't bought clothes in over a year... except for a few maternity things).
Through Friday (payday) we have to eat with what we have in the pantry (all the clothes I bought blew the rest of our grocery budget, haha!)
Monday: P.F. Changs-Happy Hour is 3-6pm and they have a handful of vegetarian things! They also brought us chicken lettuce wraps and for their mistake comped us our veggie lettuce wraps and bought us dessert... We didn't think it was that big of a deal, but I guess they did!
Tuesday: Eggplant Pasta, bread (vegan)
Wednesday: Baked potatoes topped with baked beans, pears (vegan)
Thursday: Breakfast for dinner--scrambled eggs, blueberry pancakes, peaches, potatoes?
Friday: Blackbean and couscous salad - this will be made very loosely since we don't have all the ingredients :) (vegan)

Creamy Artichoke Dip
Creamy Artichoke Dip
We had some friends over for dinner tonight and I made a DELICIOUS cheesy artichoke dip :). I thought I'd pass on the recipe since it was just that good! (Although once you see the ingredients you will see why it was so good, hehe). I think this will be added to the "potluck" or "party" repertoire of delicious things to bring! And not only is it delicious, its super easy and you do it in a crockpot!
Ingredients:
2 cans artichoke hearts (packed in water), coarsly chopped
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup shredded parmesan
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup shredded cheddar
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons sour cream
1 Tablespoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Tortilla Chips & Veggies (like carrots, green peppers, celery) to dip!
Combine all ingredients (but the chips and veggies) in a crockpot. Cover and heat on low for about an hour (I had to turn mine to high for a bit because low was taking too long). Serve with tortilla chips and veggies. Enjoy!

Back to Blogging!
So I will be the first to admit that I'm a TERRIBLE blogger. I have been coming and going and coming and going and this time I'm coming and STAYING! We got moved into our new house which I LOVE! And its been super fun being a homeowner too! New baby is almost 4 months old and still not sleeping a wink but its totally worth it and the big sister is the best big sister EVER! I am so very proud of my kiddos :).
So, my pledge to you is to post our DELICIOUS vegetarian meal plan each week and the links for the recipes. Plus any other tidbits of useful information I might come across :). I also try at least one new recipe each week. Sometimes its great sometimes its an epic failure but its fun to give it a shot :).
So... here's the meal plan, we've mostly made all of it, but I'm going to share since I have a minute at the computer :).
*Bean soup, homemade sweet cornbread muffins (we made 6 regular and 6 with blueberries for the next morning, yum!)
*Polenta Casserole
*Morningstar Chick'n nuggets, homemade french fries, corn on the cob (its corn on the cob season here in Florida)!
*Pasta Salad, fruit
*Chilaquiles Casserole, rice
*Zucchini Grinders (I used a small can of diced tomatoes and some spices instead of marinara sauce), salad
*Bean and Cheese Enchiladas served with sour cream and salsa, corn on the cob
*SW Quinoa casserole in tortillas with cheese, salsa, sour cream... I leave the cheese off the recipe and just put it in the tacos, broccoli (I loove broccoli)
I also just took out a vegan cookies cookbook from the library the other day called "Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar" by: Isa Chandra moskowitz & Terry Hope Romero (they also wrote Veganomicon which is a GREAT cookbook!). The Chocolate Fudgy Oatmeal Cookies are AMAZING! I've made them twice and can't wait to make them again (not such a good thing because that means we ate two batches of them, hehe!)
